Sarah Palin on Chris Christie: No need to settle
The Politico ^ | November 12, 2013 | Lucy McCalmont

Posted on 11/12/2013 3:30:06 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Sarah Palin continues to withhold resounding support for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in 2016, saying Republicans don’t have to “settle” for candidates.

“We certainly though don’t have to settle for any candidate, any politician that would go along to get along with an agenda that stifles our economy and would strip any of our freedoms that are constitutionally protected,” Palin said Monday on Fox News’s “Hannity,” when asked about the GOP establishment saying Christie is the only Republican candidate who could win the presidency in 2016.

Palin said “those establishment people have been quite wrong, it seems, especially in recent days” and added that “2016 is a long time off.”

Palin, who expressed similar hesitance in an interview earlier Monday, hit Christie on his stance on gun control saying it’s a “little bit of a flirting with disaster when it comes to trying to win over constitutionalists, talking about some stripping of our Second Amendment rights. That’s going to be a tough one to overcome.”(continued)

Great catch on Krispy's State Assembly flyer. Once a RINO/Progressive, always one.

Sarah's right (again), We Don't Have to Settle for Krispy!!

The gop-e couldn't pick their own asses with both hands. They already picked the next rino they will ride to defeat. They are so much smarter then everybody else.

I think she just said something like “well, bless his heart”. Southerners will understand that one.

The media is praying that Palin makes some type of statement that is construed as being supportive of a Christie candidacy.

That mechanism to prevent Krispy from overeating just isn’t working. Neither is CNN’s Candy Crowley. I wouldn’t vote for either of them.

On the other hand, Gov Palin is fit and votable.

Don’t forget Bob Dole would beat Bill Clinton for his second term after GOPe George HW Bush lost, thanks to his selling out to liberals, who after talking him into raising taxes “for the good of all” then ran the “Read my lips….!”

“well, bless his heart”.
We have another one down here, it’s, “ how nice”.
You use that when someone is bragging about something. It is the clean version of FU!

I think "Hillary in 2016" bumper stickers are now available.

We should begin to see them plastered on the back of the lefties' "greenmobiles" real soon.

That doesn't sound like a less-than-wholehearted endorsement, it sounds like an anti-endorsement to me. Course it IS from Politico, so you wouldn't expect honesty or forthrightness.

I do fault Sarah for framing the issue about "stripping" Constitutional rights, as if the battle of good vs. evil were just kicking off. Better if she had talked about what kind of candidate would be most likely to "restore" civil rights. Those on the right too often accept SQA and talk as if what conservatives need to do is hold the line (not including Sarah in general with that comment, just a generalization). Always play offense when you can, you can't win if you only ever play defense.
